There are many pathways toward a prettier smile. When it comes to the major categories, however, there are three to keep in mind. Remember, if you aren’t satisfied with the way your grin looks, it may be all about a simple issue (like yellowing) or you may need to improve your oral health in order to see the results you want. Fortunately, we offer comprehensive care solutions, such as cosmetic care and more, to guide you toward your goal!
One second, your smile feels completely fine. The next, you wonder what on earth is happening. You scurry over to the mirror, take a look at the lining of your mouth, and you see what appears to be an ulcer. What’s it doing there, how can you make it go away, and what is it, you might think to yourself? Now is a good time to learn a bit more about canker sores. When you have a better understanding of this common sore, you can more easily help it heal without worrying!
By the time you become a master of the first step of your orthodontic care experience, you will likely find that you’re all done, your smile is straight, and it’s time to wear a retainer! This is the follow-up appliance to your main treatment that will keep your newly aligned smile in order, so your alignment does not shift. Curious about how to maintain your retainer once you receive it, so your smile looks lovely for life? No problem!
We hope you have kicked off 2018 with a smile on your face! If you have but you’re not too thrilled with how that smile looks, feels, or otherwise at the moment, well then, it is absolutely time to grab the bull by the horns and get ready! This New Year is your chance to enjoy a new smile, as well. Set up some time to talk with us. We are all ears and would love to learn more about what you need and how we can guide you toward receiving the dental care (and the improvements) you need and want.
If you were to schedule a visit with us right now, what would it be for? If you immediately thought to yourself when we posed our question that, in fact, you could very much use a dental visit but you figured you’d just wait until after the New Year, you just might want to re-think that! We are happy to explain why (and what you should do this very moment).
When you’re traveling for holiday time, you’re focused on all the cozy fun time ahead. In a more immediate sense, you know that it’s important to be quite detailed as you plan out what you’re taking with you and how to prep before you leave your home. This might include paying bills, locking up, pet sitters, packing, and more. However, if your oral health has not made it onto your priority list, it’s time to make it happen! Need help? We’re happy to offer it.
It’s possible if you head to the store and grab some DIY (do-it-yourself) teeth whitening treatments for your smile that you will see some amount of a brightening effect. However, if what you’re after is a smile that’s much whiter and that does not become harmed in the process, then you’re going to want to avoid the DIY choices. Instead, it’s a much wiser decision to give us a call and to come on in. Let’s talk about why.
Are you someone who happens to know an awful lot about toothpaste? If the answer is not a resounding “yes!” (it often isn’t), then it is most certainly to your benefit to become someone who is much more informed. It will help ensure you actually like brushing your teeth, it will help you feel confident about the product you’re choosing, and it may even better protect your oral health. Now, those are certainly some very good reasons to start a conversation about your dental hygiene!
In addition to reminding yourself to write lists, to pick up everything you need for the holidays, and to make sure your own dental care is in order this season, you’ve got something else to do that weighs on your mind: Consider the oral health of your kiddos, too! Trust us when we say, our pediatric dentistry team understands what you’re going through. To help out a bit, we’ve got some tips that can take a bit of tension out of the mix, so you can enjoy yourself!

Are you someone who has long considered orthodontics for your smile because you just know you’d feel better (emotionally and physically, of course) if you were to go ahead and align your teeth? If you think it’s just you who has waited a long time, recognize that many adults have a hard time convincing themselves that it’s time to call us up, set up a visit, and get started with smile alignment. When it comes to giving yourself permission to do so, we know some helpful advice in the motivation department can be useful!
